You mean in note inpite miode (N having been pressed) and a note selected Shitf+C does not add a C to that note?
N, 5, A, Shift+C
There are are quite some differences beween Mac keyboards and the rest of the works, the Shift key is not one of them though, but check https://musescore.org/en/handbook/preferences#shortcuts, whether these shortcuts are really set up
Also, be aware that there are different keyboard layouts in different countries. The US Mac keyboard should work fine if you haven't changed the defaults, but it's possible some other layouts might have issues, This is normally more of an issue for the duration shortcuts than chords. Shift+A should always enter an A on the current chord. If you find it isn't best to attach your score and precise steps to reproduce the problem, so we can see what might be going on.

The very first bar in the treble clef requires tails up e crotchet (US quarter) followed by quavers (eighth) f, g, g, f and a tails down dotted e minim (half).
How do I do that using a standard Apple UK keyboard?

By using voices, see https://musescore.org/en/handbook/voices
Nothing to do with Apple, iMac, UK, keyboard or Shift key ;-)

So, specifically, in voice 1 (the default), enter the stem up notes, then switch to voice 2 and enter the stem down notes. There actually aren't any "chords" at all in this example - each voice has only one note at a time. Chords are when you have multiple notes in the *same* voice at once (eg, sharing a stem).
